I said that in the Arab world, other religions are looked down upon.
This is unfounded bullstuff, coming once again from a person who only shows up to post about stuff they don't understand.

The modernized Arab world has literally the same animosity towards other religions as the US does. Yes, there's ideological conflict between Arabs and Christians/Jews, but the same thing exists in the Christian world as well. Hence why idiots like you generalize all Muslims as jihadis and terrorists.

Comparing 40 people to millions is laughable.
Christian hate towards Muslims is the same as Muslim hate towards Christians, and I'd be willing to bet that they both exist in equal quantities. The difference here is that jihadis are coming from poor-as-forget regions with dismantled governments who see their religion and animosity towards non-Muslims as a uniting factor that can take the place of their former government. This has happened before.

This is the fundamental difference between the Arab and Christian world. You live a relatively comfortable existence, so your hate propagates itself in the form of tribal internet comments. They live a stuffty existence in regions dominated by violence, turmoil, and anarchism, and so their hate propagates itself in the form of military insurgency. Your philosophy here, that the type of religion they follow causes this form of violence, is inherently false and only serves to distract from the root causes of violence in the Middle East. We've tried your approach before by getting rid of the old religious extremists, but the real estate was still just as stuffty as before and new religious extremists showed up.

tl;dr, your misconceptions about the Arab world are just as bad as your misconceptions about everything else.

Is there any real reason to have the death penalty other then a feeling of revenge?

Some people are just too dangerous. Believe it or not people can escape from prison, it's happened before and it will happen again.

Being in isolation for 23 hours a day his chances of escaping are incredibly slim

Inside jobs. All it takes is one guard.

They have Self Delete watch

False.

Also what kind of prison guard do you know would help a terrorist who bombed innocent people and planned to bomb Times Square?

Inside jobs. All it takes is one guard.
All it takes is one guard... to get past nearly 200 other guards, security cameras, checkpoints, and other prisoners (who probably hate Tsarnaev as much as the guards) that usually come with maximum security prisons.

People have escaped from maximum security prisons before. Here are a few from the very first page of a simple search:

As a Mass resident, it's so weird to think that it's been two years.  Feels like two months.

Balance the scales of justice.  By robbing others of their natural right to life, he has forfeited his own.  A jury of his peers has found that he is guilty and recommended the death penalty.  In my own opinion, that's how justice ought to be: cold, objective, balanced - even for a person like the bomber.

Does killing one man perfectly balance the deaths of several?  No.  But it's a step in the right direction, and the farthest that can be reached without torture, which could have its place under certain circumstances involving multiple victims, only so far as it contributes to balancing the scales.  Do I personally view any torture as good, or suggest or condone it in any circumstances?  No.  But I do think that it may be necessary to make the punishment equal to the crime.

Also, it's worth noting that the article noted that the Feds have put a "moratorium" on executions and that with the death penalty being involved, the case will "automatically be appealed to a federal court", meaning that for all intents and purposes, it's more like a life sentence, or a really long sentence followed by premature death.
